Excerpt from Van Deursen Family
The compiling of this family history was undertaken with the object of preserving for future generations the results of nearly twenty years' gleanings in the field of genealogical research. The work has been done during the odd moments of a very busy life. It had its inception in the endeavor to learn when and from whence came the first of my name to New Netherland, and then to connect with this parent branch that offshoot which, after the War of the Revolution, settled in Canada,* and of which I am a scion.
